Key Responsibilities
- Design, develop, and maintain system architectures for reusable application development
- Implement low-level system and peripheral drivers based on specifications
- Contribute to the creation and review of technical specifications
- Collaborate with hardware and software engineering teams
-
Execute system testing, unit testing, bug fixing, and ongoing product maintenance
Education & Experience
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science or equivalent experience
- Several years of hands-on experience in low-level embedded software development
-
Strong interest in electronics and embedded systems
- Experience with small-footprint microcontrollers
- Proficient in low-level programming using C and assembler
- Familiarity with embedded OS (e.g., Linux, QNX, FreeRTOS) is a plus
- Experience with power management in embedded systems
- Python knowledge is an advantage
- Solid understanding of:
- Microcontrollers (ARM Cortex-Mx)
- Basic electronics
- Wired interfaces (USB)
- Wireless interfaces (BLE, NFC, Wi-Fi)
- Embedded communication protocols (UART, SPI, I2C)
- Secure elements / smart card interfaces
- Embedded development environments (e.g., IAR, KEIL)
-
Version control systems (SVN, Git)
- Strong problem-solving and analytical thinking
- Excellent communication skills
- High attention to detail and quality
- Proactive, structured, and results-driven mindset
-
Collaborative team player with a growth mindset
- Fluent in English (spoken, written, and reading)
-
Dutch language skills are a plus
Senior Embedded Software Engineer
@ Embedd 
What we're looking for
At embedd.it, we power hardware-software integration in embedded devices. We turn fragmented semiconductor chip data into configurable digital twins, then deterministically generate code, tests, and documentation – making integration faster, cheaper, and resilient to supply chain shocks.
We’re looking for a true legend – someone with abstract thinking and deep expertise in low-level software development. You’ll build vendor-agnostic tooling for MCU and peripheral integration to solve hardware-software integration once and for all. We work at the intersection of embedded systems, code generation, compilers, and machine learning. It’s your chance to help redefine how low-level development is done.
Responsibilities
- Drive the architecture of the driver structures and system layout
- Define scalable patterns for cross-architectural integration across bare-metal, Zephyr, Linux, and other environments
- Deconstruct complex SoC device trees and translate hardware descriptions into structured internal models for automated reasoning
- Partner with the ML team to shape data and annotation models for AI-driven data-extraction tooling
Qualifications
- 5+ years of experience in embedded systems development, including bare-metal and RTOS-based systems
- Proficiency in C/C++
- Familiarity with firmware configuration, SoC bring-up, and system-level debugging
- Hands-on experience with code generation tools, or low-level compiler/decompiler/emulator technologies
- Strong background in embedded toolchains: compilers, linkers, debuggers, and build systems
- Python or scripting for automation and tooling is a plus
- Experience with functional-safety standards is a plus
Why embedd.it?
- Dynamic, venture-backed team of engineers challenging the status quo 🚀
- Work at the intersection of embedded systems, code generators, compilers, and ML 🤖
- Unusual challenges requiring out-of-the-box abstract thinking 🧠
- Competitive compensation: cash + equity 💰
- Remote work possible 🌍
About Us
embedd.it is a UK-based startup reinventing embedded development. Our platform transforms unstructured semiconductor data into structured digital twins, enabling automatic generation of drivers, tests, and documentation. We're building a single, traceable source of truth to make integration fast, vendor-agnostic, and future-proof.
